Books are the only positive, non-entropic version of immortality that exists. Or could ever exist.
If you write one, and anyone cares enough to keep a copy, someone can hear your voice thousands of years after you’re gone.
And you could make them laugh! Or cry. Make them wise. Comfort them.

By the end of this administration, it's gonna be like $100 for a single chicken wing that comes pre-infected with e coli
